Woohoo - a weekend with Jackie, and with a zillion other (mostly) ladies in Birmingham.
Some stunning quilts were on show: This amazing piece was made but a lovely friend of Jackie's called Valerie
And a close up
And these next two are by the very talented Avril: a friend who also attends Richmond & Key Quilters
This circle was made from gathered fabric - gathered as if for smocking - I was desperate to touch it: a lovely piece of wall art, although the pleats must collect so much dust!!
These are dorset buttons: tiny ones about thumbnail size, mounted in plastic rings
After 14000+ steps, we went to the town to find out hotel,
and show our purchases
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.

Dorset Button Link
Hello, I am still here, just catching up with other stuff rather than making or blogging!
Several of you left lovely comments regarding the Dorset Buttons. I did start to take photos as I made some more, but then I found this page with the most amazing photos and step by step instructions, and decided not to reinvent the wheel!
So - if you fancy making a Dorset Button, go and visit Craft Stylish, where the very clever Diane shows in very clear detail how to make one
